receive json though tcp from no jot sender

[ppsirg]

hello,

i have to send data from a tornado application (python) to a server that listens with jot, im not nodejs expert but inspecting raw data that comes i figure it out there is some "headers" with the json info, in the nodejs code the developers deleted that "header" to use the json data, what is that "header", is a random string?, how can i build it?

thanks for your help

i see there are some null characters but there is also other characters i dont know how to generate, im getting data like this one in the reading server

�\u0000�\u0000\u0000\u0000{cool json data here}

The header is just header data. Start byte + packet size + data.
It's good pattern because TCP is the streaming protocol (not messaging).

If you're true python coder you have to unpack data (by shifting 2+4 bytes). But you should remember about coalescing and chunking tcp data.
